There were days when everything fell into place. When you were lucky.
Today was not one of those days. It certainly wasn't the first time Oliver had run into Death Eaters while doing a little job for the Order of the Phoenix and surely it wouldn't be the last time. It was, however, the first time he had been smart enough to think of using a disguise, so he wouldn't be identified.
And that was pretty much as far as his luck went that day. Oliver had been spotted during what should have been a routine surveillance mission, chased halfway across London, fallen through the decayed roof of an old warehouse, then slipped and ended up face-first in a puddle of mud. He was wet, cold and muddy and he felt as if a hippogryff had sat on him. All that Oliver longed for now was a long, hot shower and quite possibly a drink.
But no such luck. Not today of all days. Oliver opened the door to Percy and his flat only to find an owl flying straight at him. Bludger, his myopic owl with an identity problem, aimed directly for his chest and a moment later Oliver found himself with an armful of excited owl. He groaned miserably, then looked down at his feet. He was standing on his favourite rug, dripping water and mud on it.
Oliver groaned again, more pathetically this time.
